Cecily told Baxter as the trap bore them along the Esplanade that afternoon. “Even for Madeline, it was very strange. I have never seen her quite so … distant. I know she has her peculiar ways, but this was something quite different. It brought out goose pimples over my entire body.”
Baxter coughed in a way that told Cecily she had managed to embarrass her hotel manager as usual. Deciding to ignore it, as usual, she added, “I just hope she feels better by now. I really don’t think I can sit thr
...ough the entire service with her if she’s hovering somewhere in the spirit world.”
Seated opposite her, Baxter gave her a swift look. “Will you be all right, madam?”
Cecily managed a smile for him. As always, his concern comforted her as nothing else could. It would not only be difficult for her to endure the service that afternoon, but Baxter, too, would no doubt feel the pain of loss. Although James had been Baxter’s employer, the two men had shared an uncommon friendship.
Which was why, Cecily reflected wryly, Baxter had given that ridiculous promise to James on his deathbed.
